That would actually take some effort. It’s the same as the spaghetti bolagnese question.
she just can’t be arsed to cook or learn to cook. I’ve never once seen her do a basic spag Bol, chilli, roasted veg pasta, fajitas, risotto, all of which can be made nutritious, slimming world and CC friendly. It’s the diet of a lazy student. If I lived at home my mum would never see me eat like that, she’d make me sit and watch her cook and get me to learn... but I guess that’s the problem, her parents prob don’t cook either going by their size...

I'd be so annoyed if I had 2 grown up children still living in my house, no jobs, no aspirations, no drive to do anything... She can't be bothered to learn to cook or focus on exercise when unemployed, during a pandemic when will she? I can't cook to save myself, I'm a cremated outside and raw in middle kinda gal 😂 but I still try and the odd time produce something edible 😂
 
I've cooked lots more during lockdown.

Never been an amazing cook tbh. But made something for my fella the other week and he looked up and said 'you're getting so much better at this'

Priiiiiiiiide.

I wonder if Krusty even knows what that feels like

How do you know the brother has no job, aspirations or drive?
I get she’s an awfully annoying human but not every parent is eager to get rid of their kids as soon as they’re of a ‘socially acceptable’ age to move out. When even is the right age to move out!? I think people in this group need to lay off the fact that she’s still living at home as I know a lot of people will be in the same boat, despite having a full time job and saving. London and the surrounding area is inexplicably expensive and so sometimes moving out isn’t always an option

Would love to know what the rest of the household eat every night, surely it can't be a takeaway every night

I totally agree with you but I think the having a full time job and the saving part is the highlight here. She doesn’t really have an excuse not to work for the the past 7-8 months. OK we went through a pandemic but she also didn’t get out and do anything to help when she was in a prime position to.

I made assumptions about the brother and I apologise for that, I shouldn't have commented on his circumstances.

My main point is she isn't working at the moment, she got made redundant in December, we're approaching August. I know there's a pandemic going on, plenty of opportunities to find work, yes may not be what she wants but to bridge a gap in employment and have some income is better than nothing? I would rather work full time than try and depend on income from the likes of instagram. We have seen in the last week that Dare are no longer working with her, it's a fickle place, give me a guaranteed wage over that any day.

There's a massive difference between wanting rid of your kids and wanting them to succeed in life, sitting at home in my garden singing into your phone won't help with anything. My home will always be there for my kids, a whole off yet considering not all of them are at primary school yet but I will be encouraging them to dream big and go out and achieve it.

I agree they should be ‘pushing’ her to succeed and find a job but for all we know they may well do that and she just doesn’t listen (as we know she doesn’t with all the weight loss/gym stuff)

I know what you meant. I’m 31 and I’m selling my house and while me and my partner decide where we’re gonna move to, we’re moving in with my parents (mum can’t wait for us to complete so she can have me back under her roof hahah) - so I’m sure loads of people are like that.

I’ve been one of the lucky ones in the pandemic and so far have kept my job but even early days when I was uncertain, I said to my family that if I lose my job I’ll happily stack shelves in Tesco FOR MY OWN PRIDE, even though they said they would support me financially if it did happen. Not everyone is as fortunate as me to have that luxury, and i feel sorry for her that she doesn’t have that same drive to want to get a job. I dunno, that’s all my opinion, of course

Can I just point out that it's not about her not being able to find a job. Maybe she's applying non stop (although I doubt it) but I have some friends with degrees and even masters that are having a really hard time finding jobs and they're actively looking so let's not turn on eachother.

Especially when the point is that she could have helped her community during covid in some way, she just wasn't interested. She's never mentioned wanting to help.

I lived with my parents from age 29 to 34 (last year) and totally took the piss out of myself the entire time 😂

But I was working and saving for my own place so I knew I was getting out.

There's nothing wrong with living at home at all but it's good to be able to laugh at the awkwardness of it whilst working towards something better.

That's totally understandable! I'm sure your mum will love having you back! My husband and I did the same, we sold our house and bought a site closer to our families and moved back with my parents while the house was being built, saving working and paying for our wedding! My mum said she would welcome us all (4 kids, 2 dogs and 2 adults would be a humongous squeeze but I know she would if she ever had to!) I'm so grateful to them for putting us up, we're half a mile away from my parents and it's perfect!

It's very scary at the moment, thankfully you're still working away! I'm still working away from home but like yourself would take any job to provide for my family!

I was 26 when I moved out so I definitely don’t judge her for still being there.

I was always working though, I didn’t move out sooner because they were temporary jobs so no guarantee of what I’d be doing after a year. Kirsty hasn’t worked since December and by all accounts has shot down numerous different suggestions. The beginning of lockdown would have been a great opportunity to get working as supermarkets were crying it for help. Instead she focused on the ‘gram.

When she finally does go for an interview, the 7 month gap between jobs is going to be difficult to justify to a potential employer.

Numerous jobs have been suggested and she’s turned them down with a ‘Thats not for me’ mentality. With as much as she posts on Instagram I don’t think she’d miss an opportunity to tell us if she was doing something positive for her community.
